Health insurance
PCCY's Insurance Healthline (215-563-5848 x17) (website link above) helps parents sign their children up for Medicaid or CHIP over the phone. It is a free service; families in any language can receive help. During the coronavirus crisis PCCY are also helping parents sign up for Medicaid. PCCY makes it easy for parents to sign up for coverage, and they have several tools available to make it very easy for you to get the word out to your families in many different languages.
The Helpline is for parents:
* Who have lost their jobs and are worried about losing health coverage for their children and themselves
* Are concerned with the costs of testing and treatment of COVID-19
* With any questions about CHIP or Medicaid coverage
* With language interpretation needs
